In consequence" of various rumors concerning a large number of deaths by cholera, at the Poor house in this City, a large party of the physicians end citizens visited the house to-day, and found everything connected with the establishment in a most horrible condition. Within 24 hours 15 insane persons and seven others had died of cholera, and four more were then in a collapsed state. The house was found to be so fqui that it was almost impossible for persons to enter it. Its inmates are in the most awful condition imaginable. On inquiry it was found that they had been kept on insufficient food, and that of the worst quality. Their regular diet had been- For break fast, a piece of bread in pieces about five inches square, with coffee made of barley, and a piece of salt pork; for dinner they had the same fare, with the exception of the coffee; and for supper they had bread and tea. This ia the kind of .food the poor inmates have been accustomed to. Scurvy vas found to be raging in the building as well as cholera. Several deaths from actual starvation had taken place among the children. i he disclosures caused the most in tense excitement throughout the city. Novel Maes-iags.

The Intelligencer of this morning announces the death, on the 20th int, of Gen. Nathan Townson, Postmaster General of die U. S. Army. There is some fear that the course el the House may prolong the session beyond the day now fixed for adjournment. The House's action on some appropriations will have a great deal of influence with the Senate, and many Senators are anxiously on the watch. The consideration of certain treaties will keep the Senate together sn ne time after the House adjourns. An exciting scene occurred in a room in the Census Bureau, this afternoon, in consequence of t. young lady attempting to f hoot one of the clerks by the name of Keyser or Kersey. ''.. .. - Mr. K. escaped unhurt from the room but the lad'y expressed a determination to consummate the deed and redress her grievances, and waited near the building until all the clerk3 had left. She alleges that matters connected with her honor caused the attack. John M.itcheil, the great Iristnan, who was invited to deliver an address, at the late commencement of the University of Vrrginia, at Charlottsvilie, complied with the invitation. The Lynchburg Virginian, while it commends the literary char actor of the address," speaks thus of its sentiments: "Mr. Mitchell denies the progress of mankind, sneers at civilization, and lauds what are called the dark ages. He even . more than, doubts whether there has been progress in tha natural sciences, and in the useful and ornamental arts, and fancies he sees, in the motemorphoses of Ovid, the adumbration of the astronomical system of Copernicus, end tha gsol-o-y of Sir Charles Lyell! He contends that human progress is like the motion of the earth, in a cycloid that every nation or society of men has its rise, progress m l and fail that if ons advances, anotner retrogrades thai if it be admitted -'man, tha individual, may and can advance, by high culture, by self denial and heroic energy, and faith, to the loftiest heights of human intellect and virtue; that while nations can grow great, free and happy, each in its clay, man, the family or gr.'js never stirs a step, either backward or forward."
